By: John Stutsman One of the things I wanted to do with the HP ProLiant N54L G7 MicroServer was compare it’s performance to its predecessor HP ProLiant N40L MicroServer.

By: John Stutsman We all want to know how our MicroServer’s and other Machines compare in performance and how this performance is impacted by different hardware, storage drives, OS’s, drive extender replacements, RAID configurations, etc. Dave, Chris, and I thought it would be useful to build a jumping off point (a Start Menu of [...]
The HP ProLiant N54L G7 MicroServer looks exactly like its predecessor HP ProLiant N40L MicroServer.

Besides the 3 different CPU’s (the N36L, N40L, and N54L) [...]

After building-out my second MicroServer that summer and the many things I’ve learned over the last year I felt it was time to [...]
After finishing up my test build for Windows Server 2012 Essentials (“S2012E”) in a HP N40L ProLiant MicroServer (“MicroServer”) I wanted to continue some of the testing I had started on Storage Spaces in Installing Windows Server 2012 Essentials on a HP N40L ProLiant MicroServer.
